Osmium is the densest of the elements. The most dense pure metal is osmium, Os, with a density of 22.61 g/cm3 (that's about twice the density of lead).

Other very dense metals are:
iridium, Ir, 22.56 g/cm3
platinum, Pt, 21.4 g/cm3
rhenium, Re, 21.0 g/cm3
neptunium, Np, 20.4 g/cm3
plutonium, Pu, 19.8 g/cm3
gold, Au, 19.3 g/cm3
tungsten, W, 19.3 g/cm3
Mercury, Hg, 13.53 g/cm3

Lead, Pb, which is usually considered pretty dense, is only 11.4 g/cm3! In case this isn't enough, lead will float on liquid mercury, which has a density of 13.5 g/cm3.

The most dense metals have densities of a little over 19 grams per cubic centimeter, Iridium and osmium are rare metals that are the most elements that exist. Gold is only a little less dense than these metals and is probably the most dense metal the majority of people will encounter. Gary Benz Science Teacher American High school Fremont, CA.

Uranium is the heaviest naturally-occuring element from the Periodic Table.

The heaviest metals would be the elements from the bottom row, and as far to the right as possible (but prior to the stairstep line where elements become non-mettalic). They don't yet have official names, but the heaviest metals are Ununtrium, Ununquadium, Ununpentium (and so forth).
